(NED BUNTLINE)

A life-like and powerful picture Of the
romantic era in the history of Texas forty
years ago, this mastery story of love and
adventure deals with the chivalrOus side
of Indian life, the magnificent daring OF
the famous Texan Rangers, the patri-
archal and hospitabIe manners Of the race
of opulent Southern planters, and con-
dition of affairs on the border which has
now become historical and which affords
magnificent scope to the pen of the novel
ist. From first to last the reader is
treated to a rapidly moving panorama OF
startling events and situations which
keep the mind intent and the interest un-
abated. The first chapters of this thrill
ing romance appeared in the Fort
Worth GAZETTE Sunday, March 9th inst.

nEMOCRACYS WORK.

When John Sherman deliberately dis
cards the bloody shirt as sigu Of Repub
lican victory, John Sherman doesn't
know What it requires to elect Republi-
can President. Discussing Mr.. Sher-
mans canvass in the South, the New
York Times said: "The negroes in the
south ere not being oppressed or worked
at starvation wages, and Mr.. Blaine said
they were and would be. The working
men of the north are in no danger OF com
petition from cheaper aud more helpless
than slave labor, as Mr.. Blaine said they
would be. Mr.. Sherman reports that
there is good feeling between the races,
that the negroes are not only safe, but in
dustrious, busy and prosperous.
The stories Of southern progress,
he says, are not exaggerated. That
region is developing rapidly. Under
the influence of peace, industry and enter
prise, It has become in s marked sense
'patriotic' It will no longer do to hold
it up as a bug a-Doo to brighten either
political babies or dotards in the north.
Its interests are ours. It's methods,
principles and purposes are ours. Its
representatives are III every market Of
the north and ours are all over the south.
a common bond Of constant intercourse
on a basis of mutual confidence and
respect is becoming every day stronger.
Obviously there can be no use for the
bloody shirt in the next canvass" All
true enough, but what shall it profit Mr..
Sherman Who brought "the peace,
the industry aud the enterprise ?"
Under Radical rule according to
Radical testimony, the negroes Of
the south were oppressed, were
worked on starvation wages, were not
safe or prosperous. Under whose admin
tration is Mr.. Sherman now enabled to
testify as he does testify, and as he never
testified under any administration of his
own party? 1t is under the rule of De-
mOcraCy and under the administration Of
Grover Cleveland, a Democrat. The
country will not forget the change
that made it not only possible
for, but imperative on John Sher-
man to testify to the peace, to the
safety and to the feasibility of all classes
in the south. John Sherman fought the
change that worked this revolution, and
to him the country will not intruSt the
perfection Of the work begun by 1rover
Cleveland. Radicalism was war; De-
mocracy is peace and progress and pros
perity.

THERE is food for serious thought for
every intelligent, conservative man who
| is connected with the trades unions in the
proposition stated by Henry George. The
proposition is not new, but it comes from
man who cannot be called q "hireIIng
of capitalists" and for this reason may
find the consideration it certainly de
serves from good citizens. A "strike" is
absurd and invidioUs unless it means
coercion and injury. Henry George says:
"Judge Browns opinion is, we are in
clined to think, good law, and, what is
still more important, it is certainly COED
sense. As an abstract proposition moth
ing can be clearer than that any cOmbina-
ton to interfere with the perfect freedom
of any one to manage a lawful business
or by means of threat of injury Or loss,
or by Interference with property or trRf-
tic, to dictate how such business shall be
conducted, OuSht to be punished by law
1t is time for the labor associations TO
face this fact and to consider it so0erIy.
The strike, the boycott, all the methods
by which labor associations and combina-
tons endeavor to carry out their objects,
are methods of cCercion-do involve in
reference with the liberty Of Others to
conduct their own lawful business in their
own way. When they do not proceed TO
the use Of actual force and the actual de-
structiOn or injury to material things,
they only stop short OF this as matter Of
degree. Without the power to in some
way infct Injury or loss, the regulations
Of trades union would be as futile as
law without penalty"

Sherman on Cleveland.
New York Times.

Mr.. Sherman makes She strange state
ment that this administration, "makes nc
proposition, suggests no eXpedient to re-
duce the SURPLUS" aud he critics the
President for not cOnsenting to squander
1t upon river and harbor improvements. y
There is nothing on which the administers
ton has been more explicit and emphatic
than this very matter Of reducing
the surplus. But its method is
so different from that of Mr.
Sherman that he seems to fail in his effort
to comprehend i, if he makes such an
effort. 1t has urged the reduction of the
surplus by reducing the taxation that
produces it and not by drawing it from
the people aud then using it to promote
jobbery and to pauperiZe the vetel an
soldiers. SheTman's idea of reducing
the surplus is to maintain unnecessary
taxes TO protect industries that can take
care of themselves and lavish the pro-
Ceeds upon any convenient object that
will use them up. He ENDS his discourse
by threatening q financial panic and pre-
dieting an extra session of Congress "tO
relieve the stringency Of the mopey
MARKET" which, if Il can be prOvidentialiy
produced, he will attribute to the refusal
of the administration to spend the sur
plus and not to the pertiuancity of the
protecuOnists IN drawing the resources of
the people into the public treasury when
they are not needed there

cial travellers, and it is just as well to
recognize the fact now as later. Comp
troller Mccall decides, and we think
properly, that he has no option but 10 en-
force the law in this state until the Leg
islsture repeats or the Supreme court, in
a test case, decides it unconstitutional.
II the Legislature does not enact re-
pealing set a case will undoubtedly be
brought in the Supreme court at a very
early date, and there can be no doubt as
to the nature of the decision, And then
Comptroller Mccall will find his office be.
sieged by drummers who want theil
money refunded, and with the Legisla-
ture adjourned until 1889 he can have nc
authority to refund. THE GAZETTE
again calls the attention of the law
makers, now in session, to this contin-
gency, which is sure to arise, and sug-
gests that the legislators should provide
for it before adjournment.

THE man or the woman who sends
single dollar away for any article that
may be purchased here, robS Fort
Worth of just that much of what
legitimately belongs to it. Suppose
every one in the city sent their
money to other places to build up mer-
chants and manufacturers abroad, where
would be the hopes or progress of this
city? 1t is the duty of every citizen of
Fort Worth to patronize its own mer-
chan is and its own manufacturers.

PREPARING FOR TIE NEW Law
There is abundant evidence that the
railroads, which are rarely caught nap
ping, are shaping their affairs with an eye
single to the requirements and operations
of the interstate commerce bill, which
takes effect next Tuesday. From the
best information obtainable the roads
will act sensibly, by accepting the law
and yielding cheerful compliance with all
its demands, but they will prepare them
selves, as far as practicable, to go under
the new rule in as good shape as posi-
BILE. The workings of this policy may be
noted in the consultations of various
lines now going on throughout the coun-
try, which is timely provision foc the
"1ong and short hauls." Lines already
strong are combining with other equal
ly strong ones, getting through con-
nections that will make such
routes trunk lines, and it will be astonish-
ing if the short and weaker IiTes are not
made still weaker by these combinations.
The movement Is legitimate, however, and
nobody can wonder at or censure the
roads for taking advantage, before the
law becomes operative, of every oppor-
tunity left them. Nobody, not even the
experts in railroad matters, pretends to
foretell how the Interstate commerce law
will work; its provisions are yet to be
construed and there is the widest range
and greatest diversity of opinion as to its
effects upon railroad interests and trade
interests as we'll. The whole country has
take it on trust, conCeding the sound
ness of the principle involved Chat of reg
ulation by national law and the whole
country will have to help work out the
problem. But one seemingly inevitable
result is already in sight, and that is out
lined in the action of the roads above a.
luded Toto combination and consolida-
ton where it is possible to adjust inter
ests SO such an end can be attained.

IT MAY be of interest to some of our
readers to know that the call in legisla-
tive bodies for the previous question
dates back to the days of long winded
speeches of congressman in 1911. This
was John C. Calhoun's opinion. Henry
Clay, however, thought the custom ante
dated this, but in q different form, viz
"WilI the House now consider" Ran
dolph denounced it as "gag law" when
Mr.. Clay cut of Rsndolph's speech on a
resolution he wished to offer, declaring
war with Great Britain inexpedient, by
using this form in addressing the House.

WHAT DRUMMER8 WILL WANT.

The State Auditor in Mississippi, an
official whose functions correspond with
those of the State Comptroller in Texas,
is having life made a burden to him
answering the letters of commercial
travellers who want money they have paid
to the state for license taxes refunded.
When the auditor read the decision of the
United States Supreme court, declaring
lin the Tennessee and Maryland cases.
the drummer tax unconstitutional, he at
once published a circular announcing
that the collection of such taxes would
cease in Mississippi. Then the appeals
began to pour in on him for return Of
the moneys thus collected. "If you had
no right to collect such q tax" say the
drummers, "please return US our money,
for the state has no right to it," Bat the
Mississippi auditor is in the same pre-
dicament in which Comptroller Mccall, In
Texas, would find himself were such de-
maUds made on him. The Legislature
of Mississippi has not provided funds
to return moneys. collected hereunder,
and the auditor cannot do anything
but explain to the applicants the situa-
ton and suggest patience. The amount
thus claimed in Mississippi is about
S35, ZOO, collected during the present ifs
cal year. Similar demands will almost
certainly be made on all the states that
have imposed special taxes on CONNER

FROM the Dallas Times, commended to
the retail merchants and real estate
owners of Fort Worth:
Few mechanics get less than SlS a week.+Fac'
tory hands get IS to $40,
One thousand mechanics at an average of SIT
a week, would produce $4,000 a week.
One thousand factory hands at an average OF
even S. a week wound produce $4,000 aweek.
Suppose ont of their wages they receive
every Saturday they only spend two thirds
that would mean a circulation in this city of
$4,000 a week, or, In round figures, $64,0 a
month, among the retailers of the city.
1t takes a large amount of capital to start q
factory of any proportions, but every man can
lend helping hand by purchasing such goods
as are manufactured in Dallas from the home
house instead of sending the money away.
